Description

PhASe aims to examine the concept of secularisation, proposing a historically grounded interpretation of the intellectual dynamics that generated the complex cultural phenomenon known as Modern Age. PhASe intends to focus on the historical period from the Renaissance to the Enlightenment (1500-1800), but also to involve ancient and medieval sources of the authors and ideas examined. In particular, this project is situated in the field of intellectual and cultural history and aims to examine the contribution made by atheist and radical philosophy to the development of modern European culture, in its various fields: philosophical, political, social, scientific. PhASe intends to: (i) critically examine the concept of secularisation, probing the superstructural philosophical stratifications emerged in the 20th century, in order to propose a historiographically grounded interpretation of the concept, as an “ideal-typical” conceptual device; (ii) subject this historically grounded secularisation device to the fact-test, examining the phenomenon of secularisation in early modern age; (iii) examine the philosophical foundations of this political secularisation, rooted in the atheistic and radical philosophy of the 16th and 17th centuries; (iv) investigate the ancient and medieval sources of atheistic and radical philosophy of the 16th and 17th centuries; (v) investigate the relationship of modern radical philosophy to scientific thought and the Scientific Revolution, by examining the contribution of early modern radical authors to the phenomenon of the “Scientific Revolution” and, conversely, the influence that the Scientific Revolution exercised in shaping modern atheism and radical philosophy.
